<VV> Tail-brake-lights fuse

[Michael Kovacs]

What I did to isolate the problem on my '69 was to disconnect the main harness in both the front and back and see if the fuse still blew. It did. Next step was to clean the contacts in the fuse block to be sure there was no corrosion. Reconnecting the harnesses and stepping on the brake pedal and no blown fuse. It might have been corrosion in the harness connections too. A '61 I'm working on had "green" connectors in the engine compartment. I had to pull the individual wires from each side of the connector and wire brush them shinny again. This is time consuming, but........

Hi guys,

the fuse on my taillights collapses every time i hit the brakes. I know the brakelights, the taillights and the L-R indicator all use the same fuse, but has anyone got an advice, where to look first? I already know that the problem is not in the rear harness.
